Ive been wondering for some time about keeping a ferret.They are supposed to keep rats away . Is this true Spur ??
Also it would be something else i have to protect against the terriers as they are not trained to small furries.

Patterdales..there is no doubt they are addictive,therein lies the danger.While living with lots,you will grow poorer and stranger.

Most ferrets will bite if not handled from an early age, right through adulthood and also if handled incorrectly.
Yes, ferrets are good for ratting. I regularly bolt rats to the terriers. The dogs must be steady around them, as you can imagine the terriers blood is up when working them on ? rat.
My dogs work with them and trusted not to touch.
Dogs/ferrets are best introduced at an early age.
